An option of close combat is intentionally making contact with a target, whether by hand or with a hand-held item, but without doing harm. This effort is considered touching, and might be performed to plant a bug on someone, to count coup, to deliver the effect of an occult incantation or to knowingly spread an infection. It's assumed that a target doesn't want to be touched. If there's no resistance involved, the Storyteller can decree that a touch is performed automatically.
No damage is delivered through an intentional touch, even if multiple successes are rolled.
No successes rolled in an effort to touch a target means your character misses altogether.
Defense
A resisting target's Defense always applies against a touch, subtracting dice from your Dexterity + Brawl or Dexterity + Weaponry pool.
Armor
If actually making contact with the target's skin is not an issue -- any part of him or his person can be contacted to achieve an effect -- armor does not apply to efforts to touch. Armor rating is not subtracted from dice pools to make a touch.
- If making contact with skin is necessary, a target's armor applies normally.
